| Examples | 1.It gives general civil engineering undergraduate education leading to B. Sc. degree and diploma in its regular and extension programs. Courses in the water area make about 21% of the department courses. 2. The Department offers post graduate education leading to M. Sc. in the area of Hydraulic Engineering (among other civil engineering areas) Degree. It is a two years program of 18 months course work and six months thesis work. The thesis is defended in public. In principle, it can take students from within the country or from abroad. 3. There is an ongoing research program which is called 'Integrated Water Resources Development Research Program in Ethiopia'. It has three components - one dealing with erosion and sedimentation problems, the other with surface and ground water assessment, and the third with water quality assessment. It is a capacity building program in research and training. Currently, the program has one doctoral student. 4. The Department is hosting the country node in the Nile Basin Capacity Building Network in River Engineering (NBCBN-RE). The country node will play a leading role in carrying out research in river intakes. It will also do research in watershed management and sediment yield, reservoir sedimentation, hydropower and developing decision support system in water resources planning and management. |
